Medium: Crowquill pen, colored pencils and water colors

The goal of this project was to develop a sequential narrative (comic strip) where I am the hero. I wanted to share my adoption story by making myself a hero of communication. I always thought it was wonderful I stayed in contact with my family in Vietnam for the past 25 years. It wasn’t always easy from the beginning because technology, social media and ways to travel to Vietnam weren’t as advanced as they are now. The hero in me, didn’t let anything break my connection to Vietnam when I left in 1995.
